Luis Miguel took his spectacular 2023-24 world tour to a new level on Saturday (Nov. 30), on what was a historic night for the Mexican superstar during his debut at the GNP Seguros Stadium in Mexico City. It was the first of two consecutive nights at the venue, and it also marked the beginning of the end of the highest-grossing Latin tour of all time, according to Billboard Boxscore figures.

With all tickets sold out and an attendance of 65,000 people, as reported by the promoter Ocesa, it was one of the most massive concerts of the famous performer ever recorded in the country. The dubbed “Sol de México” is expected to repeat the feat on Sunday (Dec. 1).
The singer magnified the show he has been presenting on the tour — which began in the summer of 2023 at the Movistar Arena in Buenos Aires, Argentina — to match a venue as imposing as the GNP Seguros Stadium, with huge screens that allowed attendees to appreciate every detail of the show from any angle.

Known for his obsession with perfection in his productions, Luis Miguel’s concert also surprised attendees with the quality of the audio, which showcased his voice potently. Visibly pleased, the performer appeared on the impressive stage elevated by a platform, impeccably dressed in his classic black suit, white shirt, black tie, black patent leather shoes and black silk socks.
It was the beginning of an unforgettable and magical night for the star and his fans, who sang along to each of Luis Miguel’s songs throughout the performance — those that have catapulted him as one of the greatest Latin stars. Saturday’s repertoire was not much different from what he has presented at other shows on the tour, with pop hits, including “Será Que No Me Amas,” “Amor, Amor, Amor,” “Suave,” “Culpable o No,” “Hasta Que Me Olvides” and “Dame,” as well as a segment dedicated to boleros with songs like “Como Yo Te Amé,” “Solamente Una Vez,” “Somos Novios” and “Todo y Nada.”
One of the most celebrated moments came with the traditional mariachi segment and the special dedication to his beloved Mexico, with the classics “Guadalajara,” “La Bikina” and “La Media Vuelta.” With a pyrotechnics show and the legendary “Cucurrucucú Paloma” — a Mexican huapango-style song written by Tomás Méndez in 1954 — Luis Miguel ended his show with a big ovation from his loyal audience.
After Sunday night’s show at the GNP Seguros Stadium, the artist has two more performances in Mexico’s capital, at the Arena Ciudad de México, on Dec. 8 and 10. Both dates are the result of the rescheduling of his Oct. 23, 24 and 28, which Luis Miguel had postponed due to unspecified health problems.
Although the singer had chosen Mexico City to close a spectacular world tour that grossed $318.2 million and sold 2.2 million tickets in its first 146 concerts, as reported in September by Billboard Boxscore, this week he surprised his fans by announcing on his Instagram Stories that the tour will instead end on Dec. 17 in Buenos Aires, at the Campo Argentino de Polo.
